ALFREDOOOOOOO. Is there anything superior to anything pasta that is suffocating in spread and cream and cheddar and more cheddar? I think not. Is there anything more awful for that New Year's Diet Resolution you're claiming to keep? Most likely additionally not.

Be that as it may, hello, I have you (and our TOTALLY REAL, no-I-have-NOT-been-voraciously consuming food this-pizza diet) secured.

I helped up this velvety, cheddar y spinach alfredo sauce by nixing the cream by and large and rather utilizing a roux with skim milk. Chicken and spinach include some protein (and other likely critical supplements, blah, blah) and some shading to the blend, lastly we dainty the sauce out a bit by reusing a portion of our decent, boring pasta water.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb. penne pasta
• 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 Tbsp. all purpose flour
• 2 cups skim milk
• 2 Tbsp. light cream cheese
• 1.5 cups parmesan cheese
• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook the penne in very salty water until al dente.
2. While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a separate large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant and cooked through, about 2 minutes.
3. Add flour to butter and whisk to combine and form a roux. Let roux cook for 1-2 minutes.
4. Add milk a little at a time, whisking constantly to work out any lumps. Milk will thicken up quickly at the beginning, but as you whisk the rest of the milk in it will loosen the sauce.
5. Cook sauce, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 6 minutes.
6. Add cream cheese and whisk until cheese has melted.
7. Remove sauce from heat and stir in parmesan cheese, shredded chicken, and spinach into sauce. Stir until cheese has melted.
